Gael's apartment is located about 10 mins walk from the MRT, and there are plenty of local food places/stalls and food streets within a very short walk. Silom is only one station away and Bangkok comes to life! The apartment is very clean and comfortable - you get what you pay for and we had a pleasant stay. I would like to say that although (sadly) I did not have time to meet up with Gael - he was very accommodating (allowed for early check in as I had an eye operation) and was very very responsive to txt messages. Thank you so much for your hospitality and all the help you offered to us during our week long stay!
